I think a season of horrendously dull football and having 5 games left, all of which are meaningless, does that to people.

 

Can think of much better, more enjoyable ways to spend £38 than watching us pass it about a bit before Everton shithouse a goal and then we do absolutely nothing until the whistle blows so we limp to a 1-0 defeat, keeping Everton up in the process. So yeah, who gives a fvck. Roll on next season.

Maybe. 

 

But the idea of supporting, to me, is to do it in any scenario, not just when you fancy it. 

 

We blame the players for apparently not caring yet do it ourselves. I get there's a bit of apathy for how the season has progressed and gone on, but i personally just can't get on bored with not giving a shit at all.

These remaining games will tell us a lot about the spirit and commitment of the players and the manager. At this time of the season we know the teams at each end of the table fight hardest and some in the middle with little to play for can go into holiday mode. Given last nights disappointment and the generally poor season in the league, albeit injury ravaged, I would expect us to field our strongest teams and give it 100%. They should be trying to salvage pride for the club and fans and demonstrate why they should wear the badge next season or a move elsewhere depending on their aspirations.

Vardy and nacho start up top and I think we win easily. No need to rest any one now until the end of the season. Vardy needs to get Mina wound up early doors and Pickford needs to injure himself falling on the ball in the first 5 mins 

[BenTheFox]

Leicester to keep Everton in the league. They may as well get the statue of us ready to put outside Goodison. 

[RowlattsFox]

Unfortunately they will want this more than we do. Also a threat from set pieces...

 

Want to play a front 2 but then we have to play with no wingers, Rodgers doesn't think KDH is disciplined enough to play in 2 clearly so this has dragged Maddison back into a midfield 3 where he is wasted. Full backs are difficult to choose. Put Fofana and Soyuncu together for a few games and see what happens. Tielemans isn't great as a defensive midfielder but he's no worse than Mendy. I'd play Daka for a few games and see if we can get some confidence back into him. Opportunity now to get some consistency into selection until the end of the season. 

 

Kasper

 

Ricardo 

Fofana 

Soyuncu

Castagne 

 

Tielemans

Dewsbury-Hall 

 

Iheanacho

Maddison

Lookman

 

Daka

Totally agree. I think if we see anyone wearing flip-flops with a towel under their arm, it will say a lot about Rodger's ability as well as the respect the players have for him.

[sylofox]

Another sideways backwards bore fest then.

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Please, after all the disappointment this season, just cheer me up by helping relegate the toffees...I beg of you 🙏🙏🙏

[Lesta2014]

My enthusiasm for the season is gone! Not even bothered about this 

[Corky]

We've got a virtually fully fit squad. I thought that would bring better displays and results?

It really is the prime interest for me now.

Sorry, I thought this was the ‘In what minute will Richarlison score?’ thread…

It would just be so perfect with all the money they've spunked on absolute dross and all the over-hype. Be very interesting to see how they'd fair in the championship, financially speaking. 

[Ric Flair]

Schmeichel

 

Castagne

Fofana

Evans

Justin

 

Mendy

KDH

Wanya Marca

Maddison

 

Daka

Iheanacho

The last six games: not a sniff of a victory. Can't see this being any different. Sideways and backwards. Mina goal from a corner. Our players brushed aside like kids playing against adults. Richarlison goal and plenty of rolling about in agony. Our keeper scared s***less to come out for crosses ..... etc etc etc etc etc etc

 

....and we really can't use injuries as the excuse - Ndidi missing has not wrecked our season - woeful non-football has.

[SemperEadem]

Think if we lose this it could boil over in the ground.

[fuchsntf]

I am going for..

 

            Schmeichel

Justin.                      Castagna

         Fofana.    Evans

                  Mendy

            KDH.       Soumare

                   Maddison

                Nacho. Vardy

 

This time..our Wingers can come from the Bench.

If Nacho is behind the game, then Daka-Vardy the strike pair later on.

I’d go this way too but with Justin on the left with kdh ahead and castagne on the right with youri or Perez ahead instead of soumare. He has done quite well in his last two appearances and a good start is needed. I do think soumare will come good once up to speed but not for this one. Maybe he could come on off the bench like lookman and barnes if needed. Likewise Daka.

Tielemans hasn't been at it..It's trying something new..the formation shown  is just players on paper,how one really sets up is then others choice..

We don't know who is here next season,

So I have  no thoughts on priority players..

Justin before his injury was good on both sides,but if Rodgers switched,I see no problem..I want to see us build a front 6, first without wingers, because as a pair, Barnes- Lookman haven't turned up in any big game...

[Ric Flair]

2-0 win Vardy and KDH

I don’t disagree on tielemans but I’d still want to win it. I’d be happy playing Perez instead as he links well on the right. Soumare deserves more time but not sure he will feature on Sunday. At least not from the start. I do think castagne is better on the right and Justin better on the left. I think he would help cope with Gordon too who I thing along with Richardson pose the biggest threats. Barnes and lookman have so much talent but they do sometimes go missing. They looked overawed yesterday 👍🏻

We lack any sort of aggression or intensity on the pitch which mirrors most of our fan base. A few boos and a few clappers thrown towards the pitch in front of 2/3s of the crowd cause they’ve all gone home early is as intense as it will get imo

[Dan]

Painfully obvious loss and it's sickening because I want us to play a vampire role in their season. But we'll obviously hand them the usual 4 points.

Says more about the players, and what they think of club & fanbase..

I would be ready to have those flip-floppers ( if any, no matter who) direct on the transfer list the next day..

I don't mind a massive turn around if they don't come out to play...Every single one of them have been backed by Club & manager,through long injuries....

Time to return favour & show respect to the terraces... Owners ,The club, & badge they wear..

Fk- this playing for the manager crap,the club pays 'em we support them...end of!!

This is more against such posts & agendas nonsense...
